Team

Accuracy, quality, functionality and design.

Founded in 1971, ARQ71 i associats is an architecture study specialised in the creation of buildings, interior design projects, urban planning, consultancy and global construction projects.

We always work with principles based on accuracy, quality, functionality and design. During the process of each project we adopt the most appropriate solution focused on the customer, the surroundings and the type of construction.

Our customers can be entities, public or private organisms, builders, property developers, residents associations or individuals.

Regarding public organisms, our team is formed by architects with professional experience linked to municipal City Councils in four Catalan locations. This give us a special background and skills in the administrative works of processing building licenses or related plannings.
